Total hip arthroplasty after failed transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: analysis of three-dimensional morphological features.
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2024 March 5
BACKGROUND: In total hip arthroplasty (THA) after failed transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy (TRO) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), deformity of the proximal femur has been reported to affect stem placement. The aims of this study were to evaluate the morphological changes in the proximal femur, muscle atrophy, and soft tissue thickening in THA after TRO and the clinical outcomes.
METHODS: The TRO group included 17 patients (18 hips) who underwent THA after failed TRO. The control group included 21 patients (28 hips) who underwent primary THA for ONFH. To evaluate the deformity of the proximal femur before THA, we measured the anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters of the femur on computed tomographic slices 5 mm proximal to the lesser trochanter. To evaluate muscle atrophy and soft tissue thickening, we measured the thicknesses of the psoas major, iliac, and gluteus medius muscles and the anterior capsule of the hip joint.
RESULTS: The ratio of the anteroposterior to mediolateral diameters of the proximal femur was significantly greater in the TRO group (p < 0.01). The thicknesses of the muscles did not differ between the two groups, whereas the anterior capsule was significantly thicker in the TRO group (p < 0.05). Varus or valgus stem alignment (> 3°) was frequent in the TRO group (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: The round shape of the proximal femur was deformed after TRO compared with primary THA for ONFH, which may have caused malposition of the stem. In addition, we should pay attention to anterior protrusion of the proximal femur and thickening of the anterior capsule.
